• 22 Feb 2018 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, on behalf of the Senate, I would like to welcome the team from West Pokot County. These are my neighbour back home. For those of us who served in the last Parliament, we are very proud to note the trust and faith that the county governments have in this important Chamber, particularly when we perform our responsibility under the Constitution of protecting counties and their governments.

• 22 Feb 2018 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, while I respect the right of Members to ride on statements, it is becoming too much. Sometimes it distorts the initial intention of the Senator who had framed to ask a question to specifically address an issue of his constituents. When we visited the French and British parliaments, questions are specific to the interests of constituency that the representative was asking here. If you allow endless riding, the initial purpose of that question losses meaning. Going forward, I want you to develop a policy on this issue of riding. First, the Senate is going to be only ... view

He is a master of contradiction because the Hansard proves me right; that he supported the Bill. If there is a person and a group of people who are actually demeaning the Senate; who are bringing the reputation of the Senate down and dividing it, it is those who attempted to defeat this Bill yesterday. Mr. Speaker, Sir, people want us to blame the Minority Side to say, ‘you see the Bill did not go through’. But as ... view
• 20 Feb 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I want to thank all the Senators for their insightful contributions to this Bill. It is true that irrigation agriculture, particularly implementation of agriculture is a county function. As to why the national Government still does irrigation, the devil lies in the detail, particularly when it comes to how a Government can guarantee food security because the national Government’s responsibility is to ensure that there is food security in the country. Purposive interpretation of the Fourth Schedule of the Constitution would still give room to what Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. Said; that when it ... view
